Quicksilver debut: 6/27/94, Part 1

The premiere of the USA original Quicksilver, where it pays to hear the whole question. I thought it was terrible...

...that no episodes were on YouTube until now. ;) This was an underrated show with very clever question writing.

This is part 1, which contains the first two rounds.

Hey all. Just read all your comments about "Quicksilver" and I really appreciate all of them. I also believe the show had all the elements of a fun to watch TV game show. The re-runs (and/or new episodes) should be on a network like Game Show Network. Write your congressman! (kidding).

Thanks again,

@theronreport

Thanks for your comments; it's pretty cool to hear from the host of a show I loved. :) I hope it reruns again too; it'd be great to have it back on the air!

wasn't this also on the family channel?

[supersaver87]

Nope; USA was the only network to ever air it.

Though I wouldn't mind if another channel were to pick up reruns... ;)

I've been looking for this for the longest.  Do you have Free 4 All" too?

[supersaver87]

Yes I do. I originally had no plans to post it, but so many people have asked for it I've decided to go ahead and do it.

I hope to get it up soon. I wanted to get another BtB up here too, but the tape I need is missing.

Thank you for this!! I've been curious about this one for a while! It really ain't as bad as everyone says it is. There's good play-along factor and witty questions that keep you guessing. The set and prize budget are quite cheap, but contrary to today's popular belief, a game show doesn't need a m!ll!0n d011azz to be fun and entertaining. I'm part of a ever-dwindling minority that enjoys a game show for the sake of the game being played, and not necessarily for the prize being played for.

This was a cool show in the game show afternoon block on USA. Ron, didn't you do informercials not too long ago? And if I'm not mistaken, I believe you were a QVC host in the 2000's. Am I wrong?

[tpir1972]

Didn't Ron do an informercial for a PIZZA COOKER awhile back?

Great show, this! I love how the questions and the answers can be misleading, so you need to use logic to work out the right answer.

I think this show was under-developed. THe intro's too short, and a bit less energy than I would like... but the basic format has potential
